From Holiday Card to LEGO Set

Writing

Last November, Kevin and I sat down for our annual holiday card charette, a tradition we’ve kept since founding the firm.  It’s something we always look forward to: an opportunity to create something memorable and share it with our friends, clients, and community.  This year, one idea jumped out and stuck: *Lego*. Through the process of building making the holiday card, the project evolved into a custom box Lego set with an instruction booklet for the client.
